Our mission is to create students who think independently, critically and creatively, and who know how to take responsibility for learning and community membership. A student of the Odyssey Program will receive an outstanding academic preparation and a caring environment in which to develop socially and emotionally. 

Academically, Odyssey students are:

• Disciplined
• Hard working
• Responsible
• Leaders

They understand and are skilled in:

• Teamwork
• Motivation
• Organization
• Critical and creative thinking

Socially and emotionally, they have been given:

• A welcoming, warm, supportive and cooperative community
• A safe place to be inquisitive and interested in learning
• A chance to grow in self-awareness and personal confidence

Our students have lived their educational life according to Odyssey’s Seven Caring Habits:

• Supporting
• Encouraging
• Listening
• Accepting
• Trusting
• Respecting
• Negotiating Differences

The most basic thing these seven habits have in common is that they are all “win-win” says that people can choose to relate to one another. Add the phrase, “to/with one another”, after each of these habits and you will begin to understand how these concepts support a successful community. The Odyssey Program promotes the Seven Caring Habits to help create an environment in which cooperative learning thrives
